New tough hybrid off-road 2025 Haval Raptor breaks cover – but will this Nissan X-Trail or Mitsubishi Outlander rival ever make it to Australia?

AutoExec Summary
The facelifted Haval Raptor, with a new grille design and plug-in hybrid system, is set to debut in China. GWM’s local division may consider introducing the Raptor to Australia as a hero hybrid product, along with the Big Dog. GWM is also evolving in Australia, expanding its SUV range and introducing upgraded versions of its core models. The Tank 700, a powerful plug-in hybrid SUV, is also being considered for an Australian launch. However, the brand has ruled out introducing some niche EV models and its WEY luxury sub-brand for the European market.
